Workers were previously told to remove words such as gender, transgender, LGBT and nonbinary from communications

Summary

FDA scientists have been instructed to avoid using words like “woman,” “disabled,” and “elderly” in external communications, per a leaked list circulating within the agency.

The directive, reportedly linked to Trump’s executive order against “gender ideology,” has caused confusion and concern.

The White House denies most words are banned but confirms restrictions on terms related to gender and diversity.

Scientists fear these limits will hinder medical research and public health efforts.
